Writing Acadia
The phenomenal development of writing and literary creation among the francophone communities of eastern Canada has gone largely unnoticed and unprobed outside the fragmented land of Acadia. Writing Acadia attempts for the first time to observe from a distance the invention of literature in oral Acadia, and to interpret, assess and order the manifold manifestations of the transition from epic story-telling to writing as a means of nation-building. Having begun to write, modern Acadia has truly (re)written herself into existence, an existence now threatened by postmodern unwriting of literature. Destined not only for specialists but also and especially for readers with a general interest in literature, including students of all levels, Writing Acadia presents generous samples of Acadian poetry, drama and prose, with accompanying English translations.
Francophone Post-colonial Cultures
Organized by region, boasting an international roster of contributors, and including summaries of selected creative and critical works and a guide to selected terms and figures, Salhi's volume is an ideal introduction to French studies beyond the canon.
Madeleine, ou, La rivière au printemps
Dans les années 1950, une jeune institutrice, épouse d'un bûcheron, s'éprend de son beau-frère qui est prêtre. C'est à travers les lettres qu'elle lui écrit que le récit de cette passion nous est donné.

Bilingual Today, United Tomorrow
"In an appraisal of official bilingualism, Matthew Hayday demonstrates that the language programs and policies initiated by the Trudeau government supported French-Canadian and Acadian minority communities. He argues that these policies enabled the development of minority language education systems and laid the foundations for the language rights contained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms." --Résumé de l'éditeur.

Histoire de l'Acadie
En 2004, l'Acadie aura 400 ans, comme nous l'apprend ce livre qui retrace les grandes périodes de la vie de ce coin de pays. A travers l'expérience des Amérindiens, des femmes, des notables, des riches et des pauvres, les deux spécialistes de l'histoire acadienne évoquent les enjeux politiques et économiques de la colonisation, des débuts à la situation actuelle, alors que les Acadiens des provinces maritimes s'affirment de plus en plus. Avec quelques photos en noir et blanc et une solide bibliographie. [SDM].
French-Canadian & Québécois Novels
French-Canadian novels began as a marginal offshoot of French metropolitan writing and are now read and studied not only in English Canada but around the world. This collection of essays offers a history and analysis of French-Canadian fiction from the 1830s to the present day. Besides discussing a variety of works and writers, most available in English translation, the book explores the rapid development of new women's writing in the last twenty years, treats the art of translation, and presents a bibliography of criticism and anthologies.
